10 young Irish celebrities who could* be president
ON MAY 22, we’re voting on same-sex marriage, but we will also be asked about the age of eligibility to be the President of Ireland.
If the referendum is passed, the president could be anyone who is 21 or over in 2018, when the next presidential election is predicted to occur. And we have some fabulous options, to be fair:
Niall Horan

All of them. They can split up the duties.
Nadia Forde

Turning the ripe old age of 30 in 2018, President Nadia Forde would be a little bit more mature than the other candidates. And Ireland would be all the better for it.
